Lao Cong (i.e. Old Bush) Shui Xian is produced using tea leaves picked from tea bushes of at least 15 years old, which grow along the wild, rocky mountain area of Wuyi Shan. It is believed that tea prepared using the tea leaves from these old bushes has exceptional medicinal qualities, being able to soothe the body and mind, in addition to the ability to detoxify the body system. Lao Cong Shui Xian is loved particularly by elders for its bold and unique flavor. We highly recommend this tea to all Wuyi Rock tea lovers.
